TODAY’S SPECIAL EVENTS
JUNE 30, 2013
The following is a list of events occuring today at St. Luke’s. For other events and upcoming information, pick up a COMMUNION MONTHLY, available at the end of the pews and at the Information Desk in the Narthex.
Celebrating Julia’s Ministry This morning we celebrate Julia Skiles Johnson’s 25 years of ministry at St. Luke’s. Julia began working here on July 1, 1988 as the Director of Children’s Ministries. In addition to the faith memories she created for countless children and their families, Julia’s passion for ministry and leadership strengths have been instrumental in the creation of the buildings project resulting in the creation of this Sanctuary and new education and music space in 1999. She has been instrumental in five capital campaigns, a vital part of key leadership committees, a member of the Governing Board and the general go-to person for just about anything St. Luke’s related. Today we wish Julia and her husband, Bill, the best as Julia begins a new chapter in her life outside St. Luke’s. Stop by the table in the Narthex for a piece of cake and write a note to Julia.
Summer Outreach St. Luke’s Outreach has committed to partner with Nora, Fox Hill, Springmill and Greenbriar Elementary Schools to help connect with the 75% of their students who qualify for free or reduced lunch. That is over 2,000 students in the area surrounding the church. To address this need, St. Luke’s will be hosting the “Back to School Extravaganza” at our church August 4. This event will provide school supplies, clothing, food and other services to these children. This is a large undertaking . . . so we are asking you to get involved by sponsoring a child for $25 to get them the supplies they need, or you can pick up a supply list in the West Passage today (or find one at www.stlukesumc.com) and bring donations to the main office. If you work for a business that would like to participate, let us know and we will bring a collection bin to you! Contact Jamalyn Peigh Williamson at williamsonj@stlukesumc.com for more info.

NEWS YOU CAN USE July Communion Monthly Don’t leave worship today without a copy of the July Communion Monthly.
